I plan to pay for my son's college. My concern is that my first degree was paid for and I didn't appreciate what I got. I partied through 5 years and barely graduated with a degree that was pretty useless to me, a BA in Economics. After a year in the real world, I went back to school and got an engineering degree on my own nickel. It was probably just being older that made me study more and get good grades the second time around, but I wonder if I had been paying my own way the first time if I would have tried harder to stay in engineering.
